Does seeing a Spire GP affect my relationship with my NHS GP?

Having a Spire GP appointment does not result in any changes to the care you receive from your NHS GP and we recommend that you remain registered with your local NHS practice to ensure assistance in the event of a medical emergency.

Spire GP is not an alternative for emergency services

Please remember, Spire GP should not be seen as an alternative for emergency services. In the event of an emergency call 111 or 999 if you are within the United Kingdom.

What's included

In addition to the consultation with the GP, your appointment will also include where appropriate;

writing a private prescription

providing a referral to a Consultant

recommending and referring you for scans or X-rays and highlighting what other tests you may need.

You will be provided with an outcome letter detailing all of this and a copy will be sent to your NHS GP.

Any further investigations which you may require during or after your appointment, such as blood tests, scans, ECGs etc are not included in the cost of your appointment. Before any such tests are completed the GP will discuss with you why they think these tests should be carried out and the costs associated with them.

You will be greeted by our reception staff when you arrive for your Spire GP appointment.

In line with our patient terms, the reception staff will also ask you to provide card details to cover any additional costs of care.
